Abstract

Strain YF-2T, a Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, light-yellow-pigmented bacterium, was isolated from soil samples collected in the city of Yuncheng, Shanxi province of China. Strain YF-2T grew over a temperature range of 25–37 °C, at pH 5.0–8.0 and with 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequence of the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain YF-2T was closely related to strains Flavobacterium akiainvivens CIP 110358T and Flavobacterium hauense KCTC 32147T with 95.99 and 95.92 % sequence similarity, respectively. The dominant fatty acids of strain YF-2T were Summed Feature 3 (comprising C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c) (21.97 %), iso-C15:0 (18.65 %), iso-C17:0 3OH (11.41 %), C16:0 (9.92 %), and anteiso-C15:0 (6.21 %). It contained phosphatidylethanolamine and menaquinone MK-6 as major polar lipid and respiratory quinone, respectively. Strain YF-2T differs from other Flavobacterium species in many characteristics and represents a novel species, for which the name Flavobacterium shanxiense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain YF-2T (=CCTCC AB 2014079T = JCM 30153T).
